Wonder who’s got the biggest disparity between winning% and expected winning %. My $180m team has a .440 winning% and a .504 expected%
My 90M has a .533 win% and expected of .608, so that's 75 points below. A little bit bigger disparity.

and MY 90M team is at .553 with an exp% of .636 . . . 83 points below. and that team is in a dogfight for a playoff spot.

Well for awhile I had a 28% win rate on 1-run games, so I bet I’m pretty high up there

$120 mil team has a .526 win% (80-72) with a .610 expected win rate (92.72 - 59.28)

84 point difference

Got my 7th schwarze of the tournament in the pm2 game. Tops my previous best of 6.
7/29/2020 6:43 PM
I've only had 2 schwarzes this tourney. But I also have not had a single mauch since the 2018 tournament, which I'm pretty proud of. *cue jinx*

My king kelly in the 90mil league must be the worst in the tourney by a solid percentage. Trash

Crazy stat:

Right now, NebHusker and teamhydro are tied for 35th — well within the range of making Round 2 with a solid playoff performance. However, NebHusker has somehow managed to be in position for 5 potential playoff teams while teamhydro only has 1! Crazy

43 35 NebHusker 87 84 76 86 84 71 488 0.532 4-2 5.0
50 35 teamhydro 91 84 79 81 76 77 488 0.532 2-4 1.0

11-1 last 2 sessions. Maybe I’ll take a look at round 2 themes

A week ago I had 6 playoff teams. Now I I have 3. AGH!

Wow. Just Wow. The last 3 cycles have been the biggest piece of horse manure I have ever seen. 5 wins in the last 3 cycles. Even before that I had a few cycles going 4-2 but left so many points on the table because my best teams were losing series and/or being swept by 60 win teams they dominated all season. I understand losses, I don't understand how 6 teams could collapse like that all at once. I think it's time to use up the couple of remaining teams I have in some open leagues and give this game up, again.

1st 0-6 session......
I was holding in 4th place for a while early, then as soon as I hit 3rd place, I began a slow & steady fall in the standings. It's still hard for me to believe my $140M team sucks. It doesn't make sense.

In the tournament's toughest division, it's not looking good for me...
West W-L PCT GB Division 1-Run G Extra Inn RS RA Exp.% Owner
DR 080M 97-62 0.610 - 22-17 28-19 11-6 761 612 0.599 tigerrott
Dollaro Superiore 93-66 0.585 4 22-17 34-26 8-10 789 677 0.572 wink0094
Frank, Carl & 23 No Names 92-67 0.579 5 20-19 29-17 10-3 742 610 0.589 schwarze
The Hicks, Skids & Jose Offerman 83-76 0.522 14 14-25 20-32 6-6 769 673 0.562 bottomlee

After going 4-8 vs four teams that average a 64-95 record, I play the two toughest teams in this ridiculous division and go 6-2. But then I lose game 1 vs the fourth place team (albeit a pretty good fourth place team), while wink beats the first place team. I forget... is there a monetary prize for the team with the best record to miss the playoffs?
.
The good news is that the playoff bonus is significantly smaller than it was a few years ago. So missing the playoffs gets me the same number of bonus points as making the playoffs and getting swept 3-0. So whatever happens, happens.
